site and tourney news - Sunday, February 2, 2003
We've had quite a healthy update this month,
with new clans and sites added to the list, the success of the move of all our files to the 3D server, and today i finished adding all the latest maps and mods to the file index.


The Org would like to congratulate Luna Rossa for their success in the Clan War Belt tournament with a 7-3 victory over the mighty Wolves,
you can check the results and rules pages here
Clan War Belt
on those pages you'll also find a link to RageDomain Clan War Belt forum.
Krast is the current referee of the Tourney.
A Clan needs a minimum of 3 members to enter this Challenge Tournament, although you may have fight your way through other clans to earn the right to challenge for the Clan War Belt.


KocMoc is organising a 1v1 tournament scheduled to begin on the 22nd of February, check here for the latest news,
1v1 Tourney News
This is a good oportunity for the communities ronin to prove how tough they really are.
CA are giving away copies of Viking Invasions as 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize. So sharpen your swords and get into some heavy practice online.
I expect this Torunament to be fiercly contested!

Rome:TW, Viking Invasions and STW server - Sunday, February 2, 2003

No more news on a release date for Rome TW at this time,
Check out Gamespots review of Rome Total War here,
Rome TW review


Viking Invasions release date may have been pushed back to May, i'm starting to see second quarter 2003 on review and pre-order sites,
decent reviews seem to be very hard to find, but here's one

i'd keep watching the official site as well, with promises of unit previews every few days

The Org would like to gather all those old Shogun mods and maps you have stashed away on backup CD's, so send them in.

I'm no longer seeing Shogun in it's original box on the shelves here in Oz, but there are unconfirmed reports of it being available in the DVD style box in Europe and the USA.
Mongol Invasions is still on the shelves here, although without a copy of Shogun in store they aren't moving very fast at all...
If the reports of a re-release are true I am hoping for a resurgence in the number of Shogun players online, maybe that's the reason for EA recently restoring the Original Shogun server?


and thats the news for January 2003,
Cheers,
